shall show the name of the exhibitor, the marks and numbers of the packages, 
with a description of their contents, and a declaration of the quantity and 
the market value of each separate kind thereof in the country of production. 
This invoice must be signed by the exhibitor, but will require no further 
verification. One of the invoices to be transmitted by mail to the Surveyor 
of Customs at St. Louis, and the other to the consignee of the goods at the 
port of first arrival. 

Consignee at Port of First Arrival (Foreign Exhibits): 

All packages intended for the Exposition must be consigned to an agent, or 
forwarder, at the port of first arrival, who will attend to customs business inci- 
dent to the transfer of packages from the importing vessel to a bonded route 
for transportation to St. Louis. 



Exhibits for Different Buildings: 

Exhibits intended for different buildings should be in separate packages, 
and not be included in the same box, crate or barrel. 



Boxing of Exhibits: 

In boxing or casing any material intended for exhibition, screws should be 
employed in preference to nails or steel hoops, and packages should be 
addressed on two or more sides. Each package should contain a list of the 
goods therein. 

Prepayment of All Charges: 

Freight and express charges and all charges appertaining to the transpor- 
tation of material belonging to individuals, such as exhibits, building material, 
concession material and supplies, etc., must be prepaid at the point of ship- 
ment, and the goods delivered at the Exposition clear of all charges of any 
description incident to the transportation. 



Storage of Exhibits: 

If no authorized person is at hand to take charge of an exhibit within 
reasonable time after its arrival at the Exposition buildings, said exhibit will be 
removed and stored at the cost and risk of whomsoever it may concern. 

Such goods as are received at the Exposition with transportation and ter- 
minal charges only partially paid, or with no responsible party at the grounds 
to receive charge thereof, will be stored at the expense and risk of the owner. . 

Warehouse storage rates will be established later. 



Removal of Exhibits: 

Exhibits can* not be removed in whole or in part until the close of the 
Exposition. 

Immediately after the close of the Exposition, exhibitors must remove 
their exhibits and construction, and complete such removal before March 1, 
1905. Any exhibit or material not removed on March 1, 1905, will be considered 
to have been abandoned by the exhibitor, and will be subject to removal at the 
cost of the exhibitor, or to such disposition by the Exposition Company as may 
be deemed advisable. 

Insurance on Exhibits: 

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company will carry no insurance on 
exhibits,' but favorable terms will be secured by the Exposition Company, under 
which exhibitors may insure their own goods in responsible companies. 

Receipts for Exhibits'. 

When exhibits are delivered at, or as near as practicable, to their allotted 
space, receipt must be acknowledged on the prepaid expense bill, either by the 
owner or authorized agent. 



Unpacking of Exhibits: 

(a) Exhibitors are requested and urged to immediately upon delivery- 
unpack all packages, and release all empty cases, required to be stored. 

(b) All excelsior, paper, burlap, etc., used in packing exhibits, must be 
promptly placed in empty cases, or carefully baled, for storage under the regu- 
lations; under no circumstances will such material be received for storage in 
open packages, but exhibitors are urged to make all preliminary arrangements, 
so that all excelsior, paper, burlaps, etc., originally used in packing may be 
available at the close of the Exposition. 

(c) All straw, excelsior, burlap, etc., which it is not desired to preserve, 
must be daily bundled up by the exhibitor, so that it may be destroyed at the 
crematory. 

Storage of Empty Packages: 

The Exposition management has provided ample facilities for the storage 
of empty packing cases, and will, upon proper application on the blanks pro- 
vided, undertake the storage of all such cases, packages or bales. The charge 
for this service from the exhibitor's space to warehouse and return to said 
space at close of Exposition, is five (5) cents per cubic foot, for the actual space 
occupied, with a minimum of fifty (50) cents on any one lot; this charge, 
however, does not include insurance, which may be obtained, if desired. 

It is distinctly understood that the Exposition Company in undertaking the 
storage of such empty cases, does not assume, and shall not be subject to any 
liability for loss or damage resulting from fire. 



GENERAL INFORMATION COVERING THE TRANSPORTATION OF 
FOREIGN EXHIBITS. 

The leading railroads have uniformly adopted a tariff of full rates on the 
forward journey (no charge to be less than for 100 pounds at the first-class 
rate) granting free return of exhibits, provided ownership remains unchanged. 

Foreign exhibits not contracted on through rates, will be subject for inland 
transportation, to rates in effect from port of first arrival. Exhibitors should, 
therefore, endeavor to obtain through rates and bills of lading, covering all 
charges which may. accrue.

prepaid at point of foreign origin or at the American port of first arrival. The 
goods must be delivered at the Exposition clear of all charges incident to their 
transportation. No transportation or other charges will be advanced by the 
Exposition management. 

(b) The rates for transporting goods to the Exposition grounds at St. 
Louis may be obtained from the transportation companies at points where 
goods are first offered for shipment. The foregoing arrangements for reduced 
rates do not in any way alter or affect the carriers' freight classifications, nor 
their conditions for receiving and transporting goods, nor change in any way 
the rules of such companies, except to require the prepayment of freight and 
terminal charges. 

Through Bills of Lading — Notification of Shipment. 

(a) Bills of lading covering exhibits must show the precise routes by 
which such exhibits are to be transported, specifying in detail every carrier 
from starting points to the Exposition, in order that exhibited articles entitled 
to free return may be returned by the exact routes first used. 

(b) On exhibits which are or are not covered by through Bills of Lading 
from foreign ports, there will be no charge for transfer at seaboard points 
(except that on heavy or bulky articles exceeding three tons each in weight 
the extra cost of handling will be charged for in both directions under special 
agreements to be made in advance through the railroad foreign freight agents 
or authorized representatives of the steamship companies abroad). 

(c) Two copies of each bill of lading must be sent by the shipper to the 
Director of Exhibits, Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis. Letters of 
advice should also be forwarded, giving information of the shipments made 
and full particulars in regard to articles of extraordinary dimensions or ex- 
cessive weight. 

For full information covering transportation of foreign and domestic 
exhibits, see Regulations of Railroads, following herewith: 

UNITED STATES REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE PRIVILEGE OF 

ENTRY FREE OF DUTY ACCORDED TO EXHIBITS FROM 

FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 

Treasury Department. ^ 
Circular No. 47. 
Division of Customs, 
April 14, 1903. J 

The Act of Congress entitled "An Act to provide for celebrating the one 
hundredth anniversary of the purchase of the Louisiana territory by the United 
States by holding an international exhibition of arts, industries, manufactures, 

10 



and the products of the soil, mine, forest and sea, in the city of St. Louis, in the 
State of Missouri," was approved by the President on March 3, 1901, and Sec- 
tions 10 and 22 thereof are published for the information and guidance of 
officers of the customs and others concerned. 

Sec. 10. That all articles which shall be imported from foreign countries 
for the sole purpose of exhibition at said Exposition, upon which there shall be 
a tariff or customs duty, shall be admitted free of payment of duty, customs 
fees, or charges, under such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury shall 
prescribe, but it shall be lawful at any time during the Exposition to sell, for 
delivery at the close thereof, any goods or property imported for and actually 
on exhibition in the Exposition buildings or on the grounds, subject to such 
regulations for the security of the revenue and for the collection of import 
duties as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe: Provided, That all such 
articles, when sold or withdrawn for consumption in the United States, shall be 
subject to the duty, if any, imposed upon such articles by the revenue laws in 
force at the date of importation, and all penalties prescribed by law shall be 
applied and enforced against such articles, and against the person who may be 
guilty of any illegal sale or withdrawal. 

Sec. 22. That no citizen of any foreign country shall be held liable for the 
infringement of any patent granted by the United States, or of any trade- 
mark or label registered in the United States, where the act complained of is 
or shall be performed in connection with the exhibition of any article or thing 
at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. 

The following regulations are hereby prescribed to carry the provisions of 
said act into effect, viz.: 

I. Labels and Marks. — In order to secure the privilege of free entry above 
accorded, every package destined for the Exposition should have affixed to it 
by the foreign shipper one or more labels. The labels should be about 8x12 
inches in size, and should bear across the face, in plain letters, the inscription 
"Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co." 

All packages should be plainly marked, as follows: 

1. The President, Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co. 

2. Name of the consignee or agent at the port of first arrival in the United 
States. 

3. The shipping marks and numbers. 

4. Name and address of the exhibitor. 

II. Invoice. — Every exhibit shall be accompanied by an invoice in dupli- 
cate, which shall show the name of the exhibitor, the marks and numbers 
of the packages, with a description of their contents, and a declaration of the 
quantity and the market value of each separate kind thereof in the country 
of production. This invoice must be signed by the exhibitor, but will require 
no further verification. One of the invoices will be transmitted by mail to the 
Surveyor of Customs at St. Louis, and the other to the consignee of the goods 
at the port of first arrival. 

III. Forwarding Agents. — As a matter of convenience, it is recommended 
that all packages intended for the Exposition shall be consigned to an agent, 
or forwarder, or commissioner, at the port of first arrival, who will attend to 
customs business incident to the transfer of packages from the importing 
vessel to a bonded route for transportation to St. Louis. 

IV. Bonded Transportation Companies. — The names of duly bonded com- 
panies will be furnished by collectors of customs at the ports of arrival. The 
goods may be transported to St. Louis by companies duly bonded for the car- 

11 



riage of either appraised or unappraised merchandise. Examination and ap- 
praisal of exhibits at the port of original entry are hereby waived. 

V. Invoices. — The consignee of the merchandise at the first port of arrival 
must present at the custom house the invoice above described, with a bill of 
lading and an entry in duplicate made out upon the special form to be pre- 
scribed for this purpose by the Treasury Department, which will show the 
name of the foreign shipper or owner, the name of the importing vessel, the 
marks and numbers of the packages, with a statement of the nature of their 
contents and of their foreign value, as declared in the invoice. The entry 
must also indicate the. bonded route by which the goods are to be transported 
to St. Louis, and must be signed by the consignee. No other declaration will 
be required. The consolidation of different shipments on one entry will not 
be allowed; such practice having obtained in regard to previous Expositions 
has proved to be a fruitful source of confusion. Each entry will comprise, 
therefore, the consignment of a single exhibit only. The goods will be con- 
signed, on the customs entry, to "Surveyor of Customs, St. Louis," and there 
need be no computation of duties upon this entry, but the amount charged 
against the bond of the transportation company shall be double the invoice 
value. 

VI. Permits. — The collector will thereupon issue a special permit bearing 
the words "Louisiana Purchase Exposition," authorizing the transfer of the 
goods from the ship to the bonded railroad for transportation to St. Louis, 
and will record and file one of the entries in his office, and send the other by 
mail, with the invoice, to the Surveyor at St. Louis. 

VII. The permit will be taken by the agent or consignee to the inspector 
on board the importing vessel, who will thereupon send the goods, by a cart 
man duly licensed, to be delivered under the supervision of a customs officer 
to the transportation company. 

VIII. Manifests. — The consignee will also prepare a manifest of the goods, 
which, after being duly certified, will be handed to the conductor of the car 
containing the same, and a duplicate copy must be sent by mail to the Sur- 
veyor of Customs at St. Louis. Upon the arrival at St. Louis of any car con- 
taining such articles, the conductor or agent of the railroad company will 
report such arrival by the presentation of the manifest to the customs officer 
designated to receive it, who shall compare the same with the copy received 
by mail, and superintend the opening of the car. taking care to identify the 
packages by marks and numbers, as described in the manifest. 

IX. These regulations will also apply to goods sent to the Exposition 
from foreign contiguous territory. All articles except live stock destined for 
the Exposition arriving from Canada or Mexico, on through cars, under con- 
sular seal, must be consigned by the foreign shipper to the "Surveyor of 
Customs, St. Louis." 

X. Bonded Warehouses. — The buildings and spaces set apart for the pur 
poses of the Exposition are constituted "constructive bonded warehouses and 
yards," and all foreign articles placed therein under the supervision of the 
customs officers, and which have been specially imported for exhibition 
therein, will be treated the same as merchandise in bond. No warehouse 
entry will be required at St. Louis in order to obtain entrance for such goods, 
but the latter will be kept under customs supervision, in accordance with the 
general regulations governing merchandise in bonded warehouses. 

12 



XI. Sales. — Under the act establishing the Louisiana Purchase Exposi- 
tion, sales are permitted during its continuance, but delivery of goods sold is 
to be withheld until the close of the Fair. The enforcement of this latter 
restriction devolves properly upon the Exposition authorities, who, being in 
control, of the local police, are responsible for the protection of the exhibits. 
When the duties have been received by the surveyor upon the merchandise 
contained in any exhibit, he will regard such exhibit as released from customs 
control, except so far as concerns the supervision necessary to secure export 
with refund of duty. 

XII. Re-export. — At the close of the Exposition all goods intended for 
exportation will be transported in bond to the seaboard or exterior port, and 
exported therefrom under the general regulations for immediate export in bond, 
as modified by special regulations to be in due time provided. 

XIII. Withdrawals for Consumption. — Any merchandise imported by an 
exhibitor in excess of the articles duly installed as exhibits will be placed and 
retained in a storage warehouse at the expense of the importer until duly 
entered for payment of duty or exportation. Withdrawals of merchandise 
stored under these conditions, if made for the purpose of placing the same 
within the Exposition, will be treated under the provisions for entry on arrival 
at first port of entry, and no duty will be required to be paid. Such mer- 
chandise must be delivered at the Exposition in charge of a customs officer. 

Goods which have been imported by exhibitors in excess of those used as 
exhibits, and stored on their account, may be withdrawn at any time for con- 
sumption, on payment of duty and charges. Whenever duty-paid goods of 
this class shall be exported without having left the custody of the collector, the 
duty paid thereon, less 1 per cent, will be refunded, provided the duty paid on 
any such exported package shall have amounted to $50. Exhibits entered for 
exportation without payment of duty are not subject to appraisement. 

XIV. — Theatrical Equipment. — Articles brought by proprietors or mana- 
gers of theatrical exhibitions for temporary use may be entered free of duty 
upon the filing of satisfactory bonds for their export within six months after 
such importation, as provided for in paragraph 645 of the tariff act of July 
24, 1897. 

XV. It is to be distinctly understood that the United States is not liable 
for any loss, casualty, or injury to the merchandise imported as exhibits at 
the Exposition, nor for any debt, contract, or expense incident to the trans- 
portation, care, or treatment of such merchandise. 

XVI. All entries, invoices, permits, abstracts and reports relating to mer- 
chandise imported under the act of March 3, 1901, must be separately made, 
and must be stamped with the words "Louisiana Purchase Exposition." 

XVII. Additional special regulations will be provided in due time cover- 
ing the withdrawal of exhibits for consumption, transportation or exportation 
at the close of the Exposition. 

XVIII. The privileges granted by virtue of these regulations are intended 
solely for the benefit of exhibitors at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and 
with the view of relieving them, so far as practicable, of delays and vexations 
in connection with the customs business pertaining to their importations. 

XIX. Evasion of Traffic Regulations. — Any attempt to take advantage of 
these regulations in order to evade the tariff laws of the United States will 
subject the offender to all the penalties prescribed by those laws, including con- 
fiscation of goods and fine and imprisonment. 

13 



REGULATIONS AS TO THE ENTRY OF LIVE STOCK. 

The following rules will be observed upon the entry of animals imported for 
exhibition at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, Mo.: 

I. Entry will be made at the custom-house according to the forms above 
prescribed. 

II. Description of Animals. — Accompanying the prescribed invoice, there 
shall be filed with the surveyor such a description of each animal by dis- 
tinguishing marks and characteristics as shall serve to identify the same when 
withdrawn from the Exposition for sale or export. 

III. When Made in Advance. — In order to avoid any risk from delay, entry 
of such animals may be made and completed in advance of the arrival of the 
vessel of importation, except that the permit will be withheld by the collector 
for delivery to the importer or his agent on the announcement of such arrival. 

IV. Government Not Responsible for Safety of Animals. — The Government 
will not be responsible for the security or safe-keeping of such animals. The 
transfer to the transportation line will be made under the supervision of the 
collector at the port of arrival. 

V. On arrival at the Exposition, the animals will be subject to such dis- 
position as may be agreed upon between the authorities of the Exposition and 
the Surveyor of Customs. 

VI. Withdrawal of Animals. — So far as applicable, the above general 
regulations under the act will govern importations of such animals, and at the 
close of the Exposition imported animals on exhibition may be withdrawn for 
consumption, transportation in bond, or exportation, under Articles 12 and 13 
of these regulations, but animals not so withdrawn will be sold at auction, and 
the proceeds, after deducting duties and charges, will be held subject to the 
order of the owner or importer. 

VII. The regulations of the Department of Agriculture of December 28, 
1899, promulgated by this Department on February 16, 1900 (T. D. 22,014), will 
govern generally as to the importation of neat cattle, sheep and other ruminants, 
and swine, except that the requirement of tuberculin test, and the quarantine 
of one week required for cattle imported from Canada which are not provided 
with a certificate of tuberculin test, will be waived. Should such cattle be sold 
and remain in the United States at the close of the Exposition, a tuberculin 
test will be required before they are released.

disease, and that the animals, if not driven, have been shipped in cleaned and 
disinfected cars and vessels direct from the farm or ranch where purchased. 
Sheep for breeding purposes, grazing, or feeding not accompanied by the 
required affidavits must be detained in quarantine for one week at the expense 
of the owner or importer under the supervision of the inspector in charge. 

Swine. — (f) All swine shall be accompanied with affidavits similar to those 
required for cattle and sheep, relating to the existence of contagious disease 
affecting swine, and when not accompanied by said affidavits, shall be detained 
in quarantine for one week, as provided for cattle and sheep. 

Consigned to Slaughtering Centers. — 8. Animals admitted from North 
American countries for immediate slaughter must be consigned to some recog- 
nized slaughtering center, and must be slaughtered within two weeks from date 
of entry. All animals admitted for export will be subject to inspection at the 
port of export. 

IMPORTATIONS IN GENERAL. 

Permits for Import Animals. — 9. Any person contemplating the importa- 
tion of animals other than horses from any part of the world, except the coun- 
tries of North and Central America, must first obtain from the Secretary of 
Agriculture two permits, one stating the number and kind of animals to be 
imported, the port, and probable date of shipment, which will entitle them to 
clearance papers on presentation to the American Consul at said port of ship- 
ment; the other stating the port at which said animals are to be landed and 
quarantined, and the approximate date of their arrival, and this will assure the 
reception of the number and kind specified therein at the port and quarantine 
station named at the date prescribed for their arrival, or at any time during 
three weeks immediately following, after which the permit will be void. These 
permits shall in no case be available at any port other than the one men- 
tioned therein. Permits must be in the name of the owner of, or agent for, any 
one lot of animals. A quarantine release will be given each owner for the num- 
ber and kind of animals belonging to him which are discharged from quarantine, 
and this release will be a certificate of fulfillment of quarantine regulations. In 
case an importation of animals is owned by more than one person, a release 
will be issued to each owner covering the animals which belong 
to him. Permits will be issued to quarantine at such ports as the importer may 
elect, so far as facilities exist at such port, but in no case will permits for 
importation at any port be granted in excess of the accommodations of the 
Government quarantine station at such port. United States consuls should give 
clearance papers or certificates for animals from their districts intended for 
exportation to the United States only upon presentation of permits as 
above provided, with dates of probable arrival and destination corresponding 

22 



with said permits, and in no case for a number in excess of that mentioned 
therein. When such shipments originate in the interior of a foreign country, 
these permits should be submitted to the consul of that district, and through the 
forwarding agent to the consul at the port of embarkation. 

Disposal of Animals Found Diseased. — 10. All animals imported into the 
United States, and which are subject to inspection, shall be carefully inspected 
by an inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry, and all animals found to be 
free from disease, and not to have been exposed to any contagious disease, shall 
be admitted into the United States, subject to the provisions for quarantine as 
established in Section 4, except as otherwise provided. Whenever any animal 
upon arrival at the port of entry or in the quarantine station is found to be 
affected with a contagious disease or to have been exposed to such disease, said 
animal, and all animals that have been in contact with or exposed to said 
animal, shall be placed in special quarantine. All animals so quarantined either 
on arrival at port of entry or after reaching the quarantine station shall be at 
once reported by the inspector to the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, 
who will direct whether or not said animals quarantined shall be appraised and 
slaughtered, as provided by Section 8 of the Act approved August 30, 1890. 

Vessels Disinfected.— 11. In case of imported animals proving to be infected 
or to have been exposed to infection, such portions of the cargo or the vessel on 
which they have arrived as have been exposed to these animals or their emana- 
tions, shall be subjected, under the direction of the Inspector of the Bureau of 
Animal Industry, to disinfection in such manner as may be considered by said 
inspector necessary before it can be landed. In all cases the parts of the vessel 
that have been occupied by imported animals shall be cleaned and disinfected 
with limewash under the supervision of the inspector of the port. 

Articles Accompanying Animals. — 12. No litter, fodder, or other aliment, 
nor any ropes, straps, chains, girths, blankets, poles, buckets, or other things 
used for or about the animals, and no manure, shall be landed from any vessel 
excepting under such regulations as the inspector shall provide. 

Movement from Vessels to Quarantine Stations. — 13. On moving animals 
from the ocean steamer to the quarantine grounds they shall not be unneces- 
sarily passed over any highways, but must be placed on cars at the wharves or 
removed to the cars on a boat which is not used for conveying other animals. 
If such boat has carried animals within three months, it must be first cleaned 
and then disinfected under the supervision of the inspector, and after the con- 
veyance of the imported animals the boat must be disinfected in the same man- 
ner before it may be again used for the conveyance of animals. When passage 
upon or across the public highways is unavoidable in the transportation of 
animals from the place of landing to the quarantine grounds, it must be under 
such careful supervision and restrictions as the inspector may in special cases 
direct. 

Special Platforms and Chutes. — 14. The platforms and chutes used for 
loading and unloading imported animals shall be reserved for such cattle, or 
shall be cleansed and disinfected as above before being used for such imported 
cattle. 

Special Cars Reserved. — 15. The railway cars used in the transportation 
of animals to the quarantine grounds shall be either cars reserved for this 
exclusive use or box cars not otherwise employed in the transportation of 
animals or their fresh products, and after each journey with animals to the 
quarantine grounds they shall be disinfected by thorough cleansing and dis- 
infection under the direction of the inspector. 

23 



Arrival at Quarantine Station, — 16. While animals are arriving at the quar- 
antine stations or leaving them, all quarantined stock in the yards adjoining 
the alleyways through which they must pass shall be rigidly confined to their 
sheds. Animals arriving by the same ship may be quarantined together in one 
yard and shed, but those coming on different ships shall in all cases be placed 
in separate yards. 

Gates of Station. — 17. The gates of the quarantine stations and of all yards 
of said stations shall be kept locked, except when animals are entering or leav- 
ing quarantine. 

Attendants and Animals Allowed. — 18. The attendants on animals in par- 
ticular yards are forbidden to enter other yards and buildings, unless such are 
occupied by stock of the same shipment with those under their special care. No 
dogs, cats, or other animals, except those necessarily present, shall be allowed in 
the quarantine grounds. 

Record Kept by Inspector. — 19. The allotment of yards shall be under the 
direction of the inspector in charge, who shall keep a register of animals 
entered with description, name of owner, name of vessel in which imported, 
date of arrival, release, and other important particulars. 

Water; Manure. — 20. The inspector shall see that water is regularly fur- 
nished to the stock. Special places for depositing manure from yards and 
stables shall be provided, and no manure shall be removed from the quarantine 
station untH the release of the animals from which produced. 

Disposal of Milk. — 21. Milk from quarantined animals shall not be used 
by any persons other than those in charge of such animals nor fed to any other 
animals than those within the same lot until ten days after the date of quar- 
antine. 

Food and Attendants to be Paid for by Owner. — 22. Food and attendants 
must be provided by the owners of the stock quarantined, and said owner or 
his agent shall give satisfactory assurance to the inspector at the time of ad- 
mission to quarantine that such provision will be made. The employes of such 
owners shall keep the sheds and yards clean to the satisfaction of the inspector, 
and be subject to the rules of the station. If, for any cause, the owners of the 
quarantined stock refuse or neglect to supply food and attendants, the inspector 
will furnish the same. The food and care so furnished shall be at the expense 
of the owners of the stock, and the charges therefor will be a lien on the 
animals. After the expiration of one-third of the quarantine period, if payment 
has not been made, the owners of the animals will be notified by the inspector 
that if said charges be not immediately paid, or satisfactory, arrangements 
made for the payment, the inspector will sell the stock at public auction at the 
expiration of the period of quarantine, to pay the expense of food and care 
during that period. Notice of the sale will be published once a week for two 
weeks in a newspaper published in the county where the station is located; 
the day of sale will be at the expiration of the quarantine period; and at such 
place as may be designated by the inspector. From the proceeds of the sale 
an amount equal to the charges for food and care of the animals and expenses 
of the sale will be covered into the United States Treasury, and the remainder, 
if any, will be held for the owners, but if not called for at the end of six months 
from the date of sale, this balance will be deposited in the United States 
Treasury. 

Smoking Forbidden. — 23. Smoking is strictly forbidden within any quaran- 
tine inclosure. 

24 



Persons Not Allowed on Quarantine Station. — 24. No visitor shall be ad- 
mitted to the quarantine station without special written permission from the 
inspector. Butchers, cattle dealers, and their employes are especially excluded. 

Public Sales Not Allowed. — 25. No public sale shall be allowed within the 
quarantine grounds. 

Record of Temperatures. — 26. The inspector shall, in his daily rounds, so 
far as possible, take the temperature of each animal, commencing with the 
herds that have been longest in quarantine, and ending with the most recent 
arrivals, and shall record such temperatures on lists kept for the purpose. In 
passing from one herd to another he shall invariably wash his thermometer and 
hands in a weak solution (1 to 40) of carbolic acid. 

Appearance of Disease in Quarantine. — 27. In case of the appearance of 
any disease that is diagnosed to be of a contagious nature, the inspector shall 
notify the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, who shall visit the station 
personally or send an inspector and on the confirmation of the diagnosis the 
herd shall be disposed of according to the gravity of the affection. 

Disinfecting Quarantine Stations. — 28. The yard and shed in which such 
disease shall have appeared shall be subjected to a thorough disinfection. Lit- 
ter and fodder shall be burned. Yards, fences, sheds, utensils, and other appli- 
ances shall be disinfected as the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry may 
direct. 

Animals Rigidly Confined. — 29. In case of the appearance of any contagious 
disease, the infected herd shall be rigidly confined to its sheds, where disin- 
fectants shall be freely used, and the attendants shall be forbidden all inter- 
course with the attendants in other yards, and with persons outside the quar- 
antine grounds. 

30. The inspector in charge shall see that the above rules and regulations 
are complied with. 

31. This order supersedes B. A. I. Order No. 56, with its amendments, 
including B. A. I. Orders Nos. 58, 64, 77, and 79.

TERMINAL AND WAREHOUSE CHARGES. 

When exhibits received at the Exposition grounds are in carload consign- 
ments for a single building, such cars will be placed for unloading on the 
nearest practicable railroad track to such building. 

Exhibits received in mixed carload consignments will be forwarded to a 
terminal station or warehouse provided within the Exposition grounds, where 
they will be properly assorted and then despatched to the building in which 
they are to be installed. 

A terminal charge of six cents (6) per 100 pounds — minimum charge in 
any one case 50 cents — to cover cost of switching, handling, delivery, etc., 
will be collected upon all exhibits received at the Exposition grounds. 

After the opening of the Exposition, when special delivery of articles is 
required during the day by push cart service, a rate of 12 cents per 100 
pounds will be charged for such service — minimum charge in any single case 
50 cents. 

Articles exceeding three tons in weight will be subject to extra charge 
covering additional cost of handling, plus 30 per cent for use of tools and 
special risk of damage. 

The Exposition Company reserves right to waive terminal charge on all 
local exhibits delivered by teams to allotted spaces before the opening, or for 
the removal of such exhibits after the close of the Exposition. This ruling 
does not apply to exhibits transported any part of the distance by railroad, 
or railroad express companies. 

Warehouses for the storage of exhibits and packing cases, will be provided, 
which may be used by exhibitors upon the payment of a charge of five (5) 
cents per cubic foot — minimum charge 50 cents — upon all material and cases 
stored therein. This charge will include the cost of transfer of such packages 
and cases from place where unpacked to warehouse and their proper return 
to the place where they are to be repacked after the close of the Exposition. 
If a second delivery of such articles be required, then a charge equal to the 
regular terminal charge will be made for such service. 

A general charge of 20 cents per can, bag or bundle and proportional 
rates on other packages, will be made for the removal of garbage from exhibit 
and other spaces within the Exposition grounds. In exceptional cases, where 
service in this connection is considerable, special terms may be made.
